Sword - Comet Pink
Species Overview: Swordtails are native to Central America and belong to the Poeciliidae family. They come in various color variations, and their unique swordtail is a distinguishing feature.
Aquarium Setup:
Tank Size: A tank of at least 20 gallons is suitable for a small group of Swordtails. They are social fish and should be kept in a group of multiple females and one or two males.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable water parameters including temperature (72-78°F or 22-26°C), pH (7.0-8.0), and moderate water hardness.
Tank Decor: Provide plants (live or artificial) for hiding spots and swimming areas. Swordtails appreciate open spaces for swimming, as well as hiding places for females to seek refuge from male attention.
Feeding:
Diet: Swordtails are omnivores. Offer a balanced diet including high-quality flake or pellet food, as well as live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.
Feeding Frequency: Feed them 2-3 times a day in small portions they can consume within a few minutes.
Behavior:
Social Structure: Swordtails are peaceful fish and do well in a community setting. However, having multiple females for each male helps distribute male attention and reduces stress on females.
Compatibility:
Tankmates: Swordtails are compatible with other peaceful community fish that share similar water requirements.
Maintenance:
Water Changes: Regular water changes are important for maintaining water quality and keeping your fish healthy.
Observation: Regularly observe the Swordtails for signs of disease, stress, or aggressive behavior.
